WRX Wont start

well here is the story. i'll make it short.

first off my car never had a red cover for the alternator cable(with the s on it/top of alternator). I was working on the car and a wrench touched the top of the nut and somewhere on a ground. Now, the only things that work in the car are door chime, and parking lights(only with switch on column) car wont crank unless i jump a wire from alternator to positive batt. when i did that abs light blinked batt light was on and code p0463 came on. what do you think the problem is? I checked all fuses in both fuse boxes and all are good. could it be a relay or maybe alternator wire? car is a 2005 wrx wagon. im betting it is something simple but those are the hardest things to find. Helpful responses are welcome thanks in advance, any thing i left off ask.

and can someone tell me how to get a hold of one of those covers for the alternator wire?

i havent had my rex for too long but on most vehicles, it looks like a black lil cylvlinder with two lil bolts on each side of it connecting it to the battery then from there too the started, and so on. there are usually mounted to the fire wall or the fenders. follow the batt cables

The fuel sensor in your fuel tank in faulty and you should just get it replaced.

but when i turn the key into the on position no lights at all come up on the dash or anything, my central locking doesn't work and niether does my alarm, car wont even turn over... the only things i could get going was te door open ringing and the hazard lights...

All I Can Say Is That It Sounds Like You Fryed A Lot Of Circuits And Wires. And Fuses By Arking The Alternator. Check Fuses Under Dash, And All The Fuses In The Engine Bay.......... That Should Take Car Of It

Okay all that i can say is i do have some experience in detecting faulty wiring and it sounds like you possibly fried some of the relays in the underhood fuse box. Have you checked every single fuse in the interior fuse box? Have you checked every fuse in the under hood fuse box? If you have than move on to the relays if you have a chiltons or haynes and a basic ohmmeter from radioshack you can test each relay to see if they are any good. now moving on,take your battery to car quest or equivilant and have them check it sometimes you can blow just enough cells to make weird issues like this. If not the battery it is most likely the relays and i think you can have them checked by car quest or pepboys or whatever you use. If you can think of anything else let me know and i will try to help its going to be something really easy just gotta find it but definitely check the relays probably your problem.
